Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for coming here today to give us your opinions.
Mr. Swan, I applaud you for all the work you do in Manitoba. I really applaud your support of Bill C-36, and your advice on some amendments. For the first time in Canada, the purchase of sex will be illegal, and that will help a lot of things. First-time advertising by third parties will be addressed, and for the first time we have compassion in the bill.
Having said that, could you expand a bit on what a victim actually needs? With living in the part of Winnipeg you live in and being on some of the streets that both of us have been on, perhaps you could give the committee insight as to what really happens.
I applaud Natasha and Rose for speaking today. It was fantastic. But could you give an overview as an elected person?
